There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Intracameral Gas SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) Injection for Acute Hydrops in Keratoconus
Sleep studies in ESRD patients have identified increased prevalence of Sleep Apnea. Based on current knowledge, treatment aimed at reducing oxidative stress might improve Sleep Apnea in HD patients. The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of N-acetylsysteine on Sleep Apnea in HD patients.
DMD/BMD is a genetic disorder that develops in boys. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for dystrophin, a protein that is important for maintaining normal muscle structure and function. Loss of dystrophin causes muscle fragility that leads to weakness and loss of walking ability during childhood and teenage years. A specific type of mutation, called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of DMD/BMD in approximately 13 percent (%) of boys with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered, investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. This study is a Phase 2b trial that will evaluate the clinical benefit of ataluren in boys with DMD/BMD due to a nonsense mutation. The main goals of the study are to understand whether ataluren can improve walking, activity, muscle function, and strength and whether the drug can safely be given for a long period of time.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multisystem disease with both biochemical and anatomical consequences. Insulin pump therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]) is an attractive way of treating patients with diabetes. The NiliMedix ADI Insulin Pump is an ambulatory, battery operated, rate programmable micro infusion pump, designed for continuous delivery of insulin. Insulin pumps require extensive user interaction because it is critical for treatment. Avoidance of use-related risks that could harm the patient or impact the quality of the treatment is important. Testing for ease and accuracy of use is the only way to ensure that users can safely and effectively operate, install, and program and maintain the insulin pump device.
Background: During the first half of the 20th century, scalp irradiation was a standard treatment for induction of epilation in children suffering from Tinea Capitis. These children are now more than 50 years old and the aim was to investigate the possible association between their childhood low dose irradiation exposure and development of carotid atherosclerotic disease in adulthood. Methods: The study included 145 individuals treated by irradiation in their childhood, and 150 matched control subjects with no history of irradiation. B-mode ultrasound imaging and US Doppler were used to measure carotid and femoral stenosis and Intima-Media Thickness (IMT). Blood samples were taken for lipid profile and homocysteine evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to show that doripenem is as effective as imipenem-cilastatin in the treatment of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia.
The purpose is to test the value of embryoscopy in women with missed abortions after recurrent miscarriages (at least two previous miscarriages) in the past. This project will assess two functions of embryoscopy:- 1. Whether embryoscopy allows the diagnosis of structural anomalies (disorganized embryos). This is a fetal cause of embryo loss which cannot be diagnosed by other means. 2. Whether embryoscopy allows an accurate biopsy of embryonic tissue for karyotyping. However, it may be that embryoscopy will be found to have no advantage.
Rotator culf tears are common in the aging population and are a significant morbidity source. The common knowledge is that the major tears do not heal and constantly expanding.Still since the majority of the patients are old the acceptable therapy is conservative treatment. Our objective is to estimate the accuracy of rotator culf tear utilizing an ultrasound.
Neck pain is a common complaint in the general population affecting 10-15% of the general population. females more than men. Known risk factors are: Trauma, Repetitive lifting of heavy objects at work, driving vibrating vehicles, frequents diving from boards and smoking. No study dealt with the possible role of unilateral loss of vision or hearing as a risk factor for the development of neck pain. Intuitively, one might suspect that unilateral blindness or deafness will lead to a tilted position of the head, in order to cover a better visual/audio field. This position, in time, might lead to the development of neck pain. Our hypothesis is that patients with unilateral blindness/deafness will suffer from neck pain more frequently than the general population.
OptEase filters are easier to retrieve but the dwell time is shorter than the Gunter filters. There are more thrombi on the OptEase than on the Gunter at the time of retrieval. OptEase filter has a better infitration capabillity due to its diamond shape. OptEase filters will hjave more IVC occlusions as a complication.
